The average cost of employer-sponsored health plans is expected to grow 9% next year if companies don’t find ways to cut down on costs, according to a report by professional services company Aon. The increase will bump plan costs per employee past $16,000 in 2025, the report found. This year, employer insurance costs grew 6.4% compared to 2023, while average expenses per employee rose to more than $14,800.
